After all the good advice I recieved here a couple of months ago I booked a DONE4 with QF, and stopped it in SYD, picked up a seperate flight to Perth. Now I am going to fly back to Syd and continure into Norther Queensland and back intoi Perth. The problem I had when flying from SFO-Syd was because the tickets/bookings were not linked they would not issue me with a boarding pass for the SYD-PER flight or tag my bags. The bags weren't a problem as I had to clear customs and re check anyway. My concern at the time was that the QF systems wouldn't know I was coming to syd if the SFO flight was late. In the end everything was okay on this segement.
The situation now is that I will now fly my PER-SYD flight and then connect onto a SYD-BNE flight which is the DONE4. I want to be able to check bags all the way through and get boarding passes so I dont have to go into arrivals, pickup bag and recheck and go trough security again. If I try and link the flights will Qantas a) say no b) say sure thing c) say busted you cant do that SYD-PER-SYD thing its against the rules, heres a bill for extra charges etc.... Also am I better of trying to link in advance by phone or at checkin (I tried at SFO but they wouldn't/couldn't)
